A literary reflection guide to help you read fiction like therapy, honor your capacity, and remember who you are.

Sometimes life makes us feel like a wind-up doll, set in motion but not quite alive. Or like a puzzle piece that’s been dropped on the floor, separate from the picture it belongs to.

We start to believe we are projects to be worked on, broken machines waiting for repair, half-finished drafts in need of endless editing.

But, dear reader, you are not a project. You are not broken. 

You are not unfinished.

You are a whole being moving through seasons. Each carries its own rhythm, its own lesson, its own kind of medicine.

What most of us were taught is to resist this. To patch ourselves up, optimize, and “get better” as if healing were another assignment. But you are not here to perform constant repair. You are here to live inside the cycles that already live in you.
